It happens... They will probably outgrow it. Don't start doing things. Just wait.

If you're using RO water then you need to add Cal-Mag. If you're using Tap Water you probably don't need to add any just yet.. She's a little girl still.
Also, can't really tell what she's potted in but her roots may be out of space down below. Plants do funny things when they run out of space..
Again, patience is key. Don't analyze every little spot or blemish you see. If it persists, you may have an issue. If not, it may have been something she worked out on her own.
I have been using tap water, and there is plenty of room in the tank for her roots lol,, and the spots are starting to turn brown... Just makes me kind of worried,, trying to stay on top of this, I hear things change fast when using hydroponics... She is also planted in the pods that come with the aerogarden.. It sits it hangs down and sits with the bottom of the pod touching the water surface, the roots are in the res floating around

How wet do you keep your soil? What is the humidity in your room?

I started my plants in the aerogarden ultra led too. I had the same thing happen. The first few leaves got brown spots that progressively got worse. All the new growth was fine though. I just kept the ppm low till the plants were established. The older leaves would get brown spots, but it was only on the bottom of the plant. The top leaves were fine. I did upgrade to a 180watt UFO led light, the stock 30watt panel didn't seem like it would be enough for flowering. My plants are still doing fine. One has about 10-15 days left, the other about 20-30 I think. I'm using distilled water. Distilled water has a ph around 5.6 . I haven't had any real problems other than the few brown spots on the lower leaves. Just keep an eye on it, it should be fine.
